George’s Mexican Food– Huntington Beach, California
Rating- 9/10
Happy Summer Everyone!! After a fun day of shooting some surf at Golden West, Zach Lyons made the executive decision to take a quick stop at George’s Mexican Food! Who wouldn’t want a burrito after surf? It’s a no-brainer!!
I love the sign! I can tell just by looking that this place is the OG! Here is team rider, Zach Lyons welcoming me into his local grub.
Making my order at the front!
I really like the different uses of bright colors! I’ve never had so much fun reading the menu!!
Here’s a close up of some of the options. The food all looked so good, and for an extremely reasonable price!
The architecture in the building is very unique. Here’s a view of the arch from both sides. Cool!
Zach eating the egg burrito with shredded beef!
Here I am taking the first glorious bite of my breakfast burrito!! It was very good! I wish the burrito had a little more variety but it was still tasty! Like I said earlier the prices were cheap, just how I like it. The customer service was good and the food was quick. Oh yeah, and they also have a drive-thru! So if you’re ever in the area, I would recommend this place over any other fast food chain. Support local business!! I give this palce a 9/10! Thanks for reading and I’ll see you in a few weeks!

Maynard Dixon was born on January 24th 1875 in Fresno, California. He was born into a wealthy Confederate family that had found a new home in California after the Civil War. In his youth he studied with several amateur California artists and then attended the California School of Design. After his time at school, he made his living illustrating for local newspapers and magazines.
In 1900, Dixon took a trip to Arizona and New Mexico which sparked his love for the West. He spent the following several years traveling around the Western states on horseback, painting as he went. During his western travels he also spent did a lot of illustrating for western themed books such as Hopalong Cassidy. After some small success he moved to New York for a shot while and married his first wife Constance, but soon he grew tired of the city and decided to divorce his wife and returned to the west. Upon his return he set out to paint the "honest art of the West" instead of the romanticized version so many American's knew. These themes of the West would become his trademark and his most notable works are from this period.
By 1920, Dixon was looking for a change. He married his second wife Dorthea Lange who was a notable portraitist, this had a large effect on his style. In 1925 his style looked completely different. He shifted to a more modern style with dynamic compositions and great self expression. When the Great Depression struck, Dixon painted a series of social realism paintings commenting on the state of the Nation. He and his wife both were working on a socio-political series and they decided to show them side by side, mixing photos with paintings.
Dixon divorced his second wife in 1935 and remarried in 1937. With his new wife he moved to Utah where they dwelled during most of the year. They continually revisited California and eventually built a summer home on Mount Carmel. In 1946, Maynard died in his home in Utah and then was buried atop Mount Carmel.

Jalama Burger – Jalama, California
Rating- 9/10
The next review takes place at this sweet spot called Jalama! It’s located in more central California, where the waves are rad, the sun is out, and the wind is very present! My friends Graham Amato and Ben Hara decided this would be a fun place to surf as we head up to Big Sur, and heard the food here was amazing! We just had to try it out for ourselves!
Here I am outside of the store. Low-key on the outside but totally rad on the inside!
Ordering food at the front! This place has everything! It’s half burger shack, half general store!
The walls (and ceiling) are fully stocked!
Such a sweet spot to eat and the location is even better! You can’t beat it!
Ben on the left and Graham on the right. So excited!
*insert heart face emojis here*
Overall I was fully satisfied with this meal! It’s hard to beat a delicious burger on a road trip with friends after some fun surf. The prices were standard and the quality of the burger was great. It was fast service and the workers were very welcoming. Obviously it’s a great location too! You have to pay to access the beach (I think $10) but when split among friends it isn’t bad, especially when you throw in some surf and burgers. Thanks for reading this weeks blog, see you guys later!!

John Orlando Parry was born on January 3rd, 1810 in London, England. He was the son of well known Welsh Musician Bardd Alaw and studied the arts of music from a young age. Parry went on to become a very famous singer and pianist in his prime. In his free time he was known to enjoy drawing scenes of his home city of London.
He produced his most famous illustration in , London Street Scene, in 1835 which depicts a busy street in London being blasted with advertisements for various things. There is really no more information that I could find on Parry's artistic career because he is so greatly known for his musical success, but I really enjoy this little watercolor.
